Indeed, very sad. I never knew him well personally, but, if you
are in touch with his family, please extend my condolences.

Sorry to have to share the news that Ray Tomlinson died
yesterday. I knew him when we worked at BBN in the 1980s. He
was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in 2012.
Nice article on Ray at

His wikipedia page:

He is credited for inventing email that we used today, but his
work was much broader.
Very sad, he will be missed.
